Property summary
Le Bois is situated on the edge of the picturesque Erbray village, just 10 minutes drive to the historic Chateaubriant town and within an hours' drive of the vibrant cities of Nantes, Rennes, Angers and Laval.
The property comprises of a traditional farmhouse, a stunning open-plan loft apartment above a large, empty stable block, a gite, various traditional stone built outbuildings (including a bakehouse) and a large wood store barn.
The farmhouse has been renovated and the rear roof pitch raised to offer a spacious and airy kitchen and utility room. It also comprises of a bathroom, three double bedrooms, a large entrance hall (currently used as a second sitting room), main sitting room with French doors, feature fireplace and large log burning fire. These rooms are all located on the ground floor.
The attic is fully floored and offers the opportunity to create further rooms extending above the ground floor and into the huge space above the farmhouse and garage. The majority of the roof has been replaced with slate and includes large picture velux windows giving light within and wonderful views of the surrounding area.
A luxurious open plan apartment, 'The Hayloft', has been developed above the stone stables with impressive panoramic views of the surrounding rolling countryside. It is now a registered gite rental business. The traditional, exposed oak beams and designer inspired lighting give The Hayloft a unique feel. The Hayloft is reached by a set of outside, open tread stairs, which are lit upon dusk. You are first greeted by original terracotta tomette floor tiles leading into the kitchen. To the right of the front door there is an open space currently housing a traditional French double bed and dresser, a full bathroom with bath/shower, and a single bedroom. To the left of the front door, a dining area is found, and continuing through the open plan apartment is a unique box double bed, and an abundance of seating spaces all with fabulous views to be enjoyed. The main lounge area leads onto a balcony, where you can enjoy al fresco dining and amazing sunsets.
A further gite exists but is not yet renovated. It comprises an open living area on the ground level with potential for two bedrooms and a shower room above. A covered loggia separates this gite from the farmhouse with a covered sitting area.
There are further outbuildings including a traditional bake house, a stable block and large, open sided, traditional potter's barns to the rear. The large garage, attached to the house, is currently divided into separate storage spaces, e.g. Gym and cycle storage. There is also a workshop at the back of the garage space.
There is an abundance of outside space with ten acres to be enjoyed bordered by mature hedging and trees . There are a variety of patioed and decked areas, along with more secluded family garden areas to the rear of the kitchen and an impressive pergola to shade from the summer sun.
This property and land offers plenty of flexibility to be further developed or left in its current layout. It is desirable as accommodation for an extended family seeking segregated living spaces, someone wishing to continue to run the established gite business or indeed for an equestrian/ livestock loving owner wishing on site staff accommodation. The land is suitable for all types of livestock and is secluded, well off the village road, reached by a tarmac drive which is maintained by the local commune though only used by the property and the local farmer for access to surrounding fields.
